Lets be clear, "main stream" news and media has done so much damage to the collective consciousness's understanding and perception of psychedelics and have opposed them vehemently for decades. Stories like this have been known and spread by plenty of outlets deemed alt/fringe/etc yet now the corporate owned institutions act as if they had nothing to do with the previous mud slinging and blatant lies they generated in the past.
this is so interesting tbh, thanks for sharing
Just a little bit of Lenin in the back, no big deal
Imagine that. All these things the GOVERNMENT said was bad for us are actually beneficial for us
all this is druggie horseshit dealing with symptoms and not causes (big pharma does the same), why dont they talk about fixing gut health to naturally increase neurotransmitters with gut bacteria?
About time and I'm not kidding cuz that's what started it all the Spore.
0.5g of shrooms every weekend and my migraine is gone – thx mushrooms 🍄
Do not take them if you have schizophrenia!
I dont like ssris
“更多“是吸毒者的共同本性。
If anyone has done shrooms to treat depression, use shrooms as a tool to cure depression not a drug to rely on your happiness.
Recently I've started microdosing small doses of mushrooms and already I've noticed some significant but small changes. One of my goals for this adventure is to re wier my brain after sustaining a traumatic brain injury 40 yrs ago from a automobile accident I also suffer from chronic depression, ADHD AND
⬆️⬆️⬆️look up that handle, he ships swiftly, and he got shrooms, Dmt, lsd, mmda, psilocybin, chocolate bars, he's got a lot..🍄💊🍫
He talk about is expienceive medicine in encuentro perids name is RED MOLICURE AND RED MECURY ●●●
DOTT AGENECYS●●●
Any for sale in Ireland?
All depends on your genes. If you have the trigger, these psychotropic drugs will trigger psychosis, play with care. Once you’re in there’s no coming back.
Can this be purchased online
Get 🖕🖕all kinds of psychedelics 💊🍄🍄
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There isn't any money in this for big pharma. A reset on the brain & a long term cure for mental illness & trauma is not in the best interest for that 1% .
Psychedelics are what we truly need to cure our mental health issues. The rediscovery of this drug gives us hope for healing and recovery.
Once money or profit margins come into play…it will contaminate
can't wait to be able to buy mushrooms or medical grade dmt or lsd in a store.
They will be everyone's downfall. People will die mentally and physically, because of Psychedelics. Haven't we learned anything from the past?
Literally once you said “the therapeutic benefits “ it should be moved away from schedule 1
Dmt was the greatest. I remember feeling so sorted out for a while after dosing.
I wonder if they'll make these for kids?
Please consider me for your trials

For me it was 2.5 hits of gelatin acid, whatever the actual dose, I'll never know. But it wasn't even that night (which was amazing in it's own right, don't get me wrong) but the days after I noticed a difference. I was actually excited about life, not only content to sit on my porch and observe the world but eager to experience whatever I could. I'd seen many clouds and sunsets and felt many a breeze, but it's like i wasn't aware before. The world I'd always ignored was suddenly fascinating and inspiring. Soon i was for the first time ever going for nature walks, forest bathing, bird watching, kayaking, etc. And I even got into group therapy after being a recluse for 4 years or so, and shortly after employed again. Psychedelics aren't a magic cure, but they sure can change how you see yourself and the world, more than you can know until you've had a 'meaningful' experience for yourself.
Psychedelics helped me over my bad anxiety and it was through the help of a mycologist
Funny how the things that would land us in jail when i was younger, are fine when the pharmaceutical companies sell them. We have "medicinal" amphetamines, psychedelics, opiates, and marijuana. They got all the bases covered.
I did acid when i was 19 or 20. I had such a bad trip, it effects me to this day, and im 38
Very very interesting I wish I could try a dose
I don't agree with the notion that big Pharma needs to be profiting off of psychedelic medicine revolution at all, they have represented a corrupt capitalistic agenda that prioritizes money over anything else. They are fundamentally fueled by capitalism and aren't trustworthy in carrying out the task of distributing this medicine. A DIY approach and creating our own healing centers, especially with the predictable widespread legalization of psychedelic healing, is a more protected approach. Big Pharma can / will fall on their own and I truly don't think these very sacred medicines need to be intimately connected with them. If we're creating a new world this a new foundation that should be created.
big motha pharma aint taking it down cause.. A.H, thats why
Insanity
The bots in the comments on these types of videos are worse than crypto, sucks.
Their research was just shot down by the FDA. It turns our they were "priming" their test subjects, inflating efficacy and are under investigation for at least one of their therapists taking advantage of a client while they were under the influence. Greed is the most powerful drug.
I saw many comments about Magic Mushroom that were published with exactly the same word but with different accounts. Are you a robot?
2:26 ➖ 🧠 ➖ ♥ ➖ 💪🏼 guaranteed A CERTAIN END ______ flatline 🖕🏼
I was severely traumatized years ago as a teenage, got diagnosed with OCD. Spent my whole life fighting OCD. I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my husband recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean, never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.
Not as far as I'm aware. Same old bs and same old lies for me. But doesn't matter, not like I'll ever magically be able to experience any of these "medicines" people talk so much about as if they're plentiful and easy to try.
After seeing so many positive comments from people who have benefited, and from knowing these molecules are available in nature (meaning non synthetic), I am inclined to give my full support and blessings to these efforts as the benefits are likely to impact even more people and collectively, humanity is healed.
Things got so bad, and so many people are so sick, that even big pharma wants some of us to get well now.
I like how the scientist just casually says, oh, you know, we first CREATE A DEPRESSED RAT. Like they have a depressed rat factory or something. Imagine if aliens came down and wanted to study us. They would probably do the same thing. They'd be like, Hmm. I wonder what happens when we inject this substance? Well, first step is to create a depressed human.
